From April 2 to 5, at COEX in Seoul, Laundry24 will provide one washing machine and one dryer free of charge to prospective franchise owners who visit the booth, receive a consultation, and apply to open a store during the fair period. This initiative aims to reduce the burden of equipment costs, which account for a significant portion of initial startup expenses, and to help ensure stable entry into the market.


Laundry24 is a 24-hour smart unmanned laundromat that combines self-service laundry and dry cleaning shop functions. It offers total laundry services 365 days a year, unattended, including everyday laundry, bedding, sneakers, and rugs, as well as clothing alterations and dry cleaning.



In particular, the Dry Station service is structured so that the head office directly collects, washes, and delivers laundry, allowing franchise owners to operate with minimal management, such as cleaning the store and interacting with customers, without having to handle laundry themselves. Laundry24 currently operates more than 180 locations nationwide, mainly in Seoul and the greater metropolitan area, and continues to grow, recently surpassing 1 million dry cleaning orders and 2 million coin laundry orders, for a total of over 3 million cumulative orders. A Laundry24 representative stated, "This franchise startup fair will provide prospective franchise owners with an opportunity to directly experience the brand's competitiveness and operational system."
